It might be old but this 2000 GMC Sierra 2500, 2WD with 6.0 Vortec engine has a truck bed that’s more useful than any new pick-up.
Featuring both the equivalent of the Ram’s RamBox and Rivian’s gear tunnel, it has the utility box to top them all.
Plus it can be yours for $6,350 if you can pick it up from Lenexa, Kansas in the US.

The GMC truck bed
The 2000 GMC Sierra might look traditional, but by flipping several switches that all changes.
The truck bed’s sides open up like a Mercedes gullwing – just like the patented RamBox – revealing tons more tool storage than you’d expect.
The gear tunnel is a big selling point for the Rivian R1T – but this aging GMT800 boasts one too.
While it isn’t a complete pass-thru, it’s close with a sliding drawer pulling out almost four feet from the passenger side.
On top of that, the 6.0-liter V8 appears to have lockable compartments on the top.
Despite all that’s on offer, per the Facebook Marketplace listing, it costs far less than a brand-new Ram or Rivian.
It’s not the first time a truck bed has been adapted, Elon Musk’s Cybertruck was spotted last year with crazy lights shooting from the back.
Where did it come from and how does it work?
According to the seller, the impressive bed was built by a commercial manufacturer in Mississippi, US.
However, no shop or mechanic company is mentioned in the listing – nor does it state how much the modifications cost.
It’s also unclear how the bedside lifts are powered and whether you can access replacement parts if something goes wrong.
The previous owner states that he bought it for a project two years ago.
While the odometer is on the fritz, the truck runs well and ‘doesn’t burn oil’.
“Reliable enough for long drives—I recently drove it to the Colorado border and back,” states the seller, which explains the 300,000 miles that are showing on the clock.
With ‘minimal rust and ‘some blemishes’ the seller believes that before his purchase it must have been stored somewhere dry, like Arizona.
Other wild vehicle modifications being sold on the platform include this 8×8 articulating off-road fire truck.
Plus, this San Francisco house is on sale for just $488,000 – but you’ll have a tenant until 2053.
All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
